High street retailers have reported better than expected post-Christmas trading which has been helped by many businesses deciding to absorb the rise in Value Added Tax, which reverted back to 17.5 per cent from 15 per cent at the end of 2009. Westfield is the largest, in-town shopping centre in Europe with over 265 retail outlets and numerous restaurants under its roof.
